Yan Manor.
In Yan Song's study, Yan Song, Feng Ji, and Qiao Zhiyong were having a conversation.
This conversation was the first time Feng Ji had brought it up in a serious tone after sorting out the situation in Yan Manor.
"Master, I think your current position is still a little dangerous." In the imperial court, there was the Donglin Party, which represented the Jiangnan scholars and merchants, the Jin Party, which represented the Jin merchants, and the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties. They all had their own sphere of influence. But you, Master, are alone. You only have the favor of the Emperor and a few officials who are dependent on you.”
Qiao Zhiyong didn't say anything because he was good at business, but he wasn't as powerful as Fengji in politics.
Yan Song signaled Feng Ji to continue.
Feng Ji said," The reason why the Emperor favors you is because the Emperor values you. However, the current Emperor Jiajing is arrogant and arrogant, but he is narrow-minded. He likes to spend money recklessly and also cares about his face. This kind of Emperor is extremely dangerous as a close minister. Perhaps in the next moment, he will have a bad temper and dismiss you. He might even throw you into prison."”
After all, Feng Ji was not from the Ming Dynasty, so he did not have much respect for the emperor. He spoke rudely and could even be said to be treasonous. If outsiders heard this, they would definitely be exterminated.
However, Yan Song had to admit that Feng Ji was right.
Feng Ji: " No matter what, we need to be like the Donglin Party, the Qi Party, and the Chu Party. We need to build our own team. Master is now 40 years old and is in his prime. He can be in office for more than 20 years. He has enough time to run things…"
Yan Song's heart trembled. He felt that Feng Ji had spoken to his heart.
Actually, after transmigrating, Yan Song also had a sense of insecurity in his heart. He remembered that after Yan Song was ousted, he returned to his hometown. In the end, his political enemy Xu Jie still refused to let go and sent people to make things difficult for him. In the end, he ended up in a tragic state.
Those who had once relied on Yan Song changed their ways after Yan Song was ousted. They changed camps and joined the arms of the enemy. They did not care about Yan Song and even began to make things difficult for Yan Song for the sake of the 'pledge of allegiance.'
Now that Feng Ji Yi had reminded him, Yan Song was enlightened.
"That's right. He doesn't have a foundation, so after he was dismissed, he was made difficult for by others and no one interceded for him.”
Feng Ji took another step forward." Donglin Party, Qi Party, Chu Party, and the others all represent the scholars and merchants of their respective regions. They have a large base in the rear, run schools, and do business. They have endless sources of income and talents. In the past decade or so, under their jurisdiction, the proportion of Juren and Jinshi in the country has begun to increase, providing more and more high-end talents. That's why they can support the continuous development of their party.”
" I understand what you mean." Yan Song nodded." I haven't done enough in this aspect."”
Yan Song had indeed not done enough, and it was very insufficient. Yan Song was born in Fenyi County, Xinyu, Jiangxi Province. However, after Yan Song rose to a high position, he did not manage Jiangxi. He only built ordinary roads and did not run schools at all. It had to be said that Yan Song's predecessor was too stingy and loved money. He did not know how to leave a way out for himself.
But now, Yan Song had learned his lesson from history. Naturally, he would not be as greedy as the former and not think of a way out.
Yan Song looked at Feng Ji and Qiao Zhiyong."I intend to manage the village and provide assistance in the future. I would like to trouble Yuantu and Zhiyong to return to Jiangxi. I will write back to my family and ask them to assist you.”
Feng Ji was good at scheming, and Qiao Zhiyong was good at business. After the two of them returned, they would be able to help Yan Song manage Fenyi County well. Then, they would gradually expand to the entire Jiangxi and gradually build a team for Yan Song.
Feng Ji and Qiao Zhiyong naturally wouldn't refuse. They were useless in the capital for the time being, so they might as well go to Jiangxi and create a big business for their master.
"Don't worry, Old Master. I will do my best!”
The next day, Feng Ji and Qiao Zhiyong traveled lightly, bringing more than 600,000 silver notes to the south.
Yan Song watched the two of them leave and felt a little regretful. At this moment, the treacherous official only had 2000 points, so he could not continue to draw. Techniques such as cement, glass, soap, and the Jenny spinning machine were all good things. If Qiao Zhiyong brought them to Jiangxi, he would definitely be able to accumulate a huge fortune very quickly. Actually, the 600,000 yuan he brought was not enough.
Of course, Yan Song had also thought of being like other time-travel novels. The protagonist was intelligent and could experiment with cement, glass, soap, and jenny spinning machines with just a little bit of thought. Then, he would start the road to the peak of the Ming Dynasty's business tycoon.
Unfortunately, Yan Song was a scholar and had no idea about science. For example, glass was made of silicon, but he had no idea what silicon was, so he could only give up on this beautiful idea.
"I have to quickly accumulate points!”Yan Song thought so.
Unlike Yan Song, Yan Nian watched the two leave and couldn't help but feel relieved. He felt that after these two hanger-ons left, he, the number one lackey of the Yan Residence, could be arrogant again.
……
In the next few days, Yan Song was looking for opportunities to get some points. Unfortunately, he never got what he wanted because the officials were very honest and did not give Yan Song a chance.
However, on the morning court session of the fourth day, Yan Song finally found an opportunity.
After the court session, a group of officials walked on the main square of the Imperial Palace. Among them, Wang Zhenzhai was chatting happily with a group of like-minded officials.
Suddenly, one of them said,""Lord Wang, I heard that you obtained Master Zhang's immortal work,'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' last night. Can I go and have a look today?”
"Along the River During the Qingming Festival?"
Everyone exclaimed.
"Lord Wang, how did you get it? This is a peerless treasure that can't be exchanged for a thousand gold coins. You're really too amazing!”
"Lord Wang, may I pay a visit to your residence?”
Wang Zhezhai had wanted to be humble, but after being pursued by a group of officials, he began to feel smug. Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, he was too embarrassed to refuse.
"Then tonight, everyone, please do me the honor of coming to my residence to take a look and appreciate it together.”
"Haha, thank you, Lord Wang." Everyone expressed their gratitude. After all, Along the River During the Qingming Festival was too famous. In the hearts of scholars, it was not inferior to Wang Xizhi's Clear Snow Calligraphy. It was a peerless treasure. To be able to take a look at it was enough to brag for a few years.
At this moment, Yan Song happened to hear it.
"Along the River During the Qingming Festival?"
Yan Song's eyes lit up, and he immediately revealed a sinister smile.
Wang Zhenzhai, who was being pursued by the crowd, suddenly felt his anus tighten.

Sorry for being late.
